Frugal Friday: OC Zoo at Irvine Regional Park | @OCParks
Contributing post by Justine Burgess
I love zoos. Ever since I was a kid, zoos have been a regular part of my life. When I was little, I was fascinated by the animals. Now that I’m older, I appreciate the conservation efforts and educational opportunities that zoos provide. Sometimes, though, a large zoo can be daunting to visit, especially for families with small children- those little

Shopping for Back-to-School Supplies
This is a compensated campaign in collaboration with Latina Bloggers Connect and Kleenex.
As I'm sure I've mentioned before, maybe about a million times, my oldest is going into kinder. We received our school supply list and on that is... facial tissue. This being my first time actually buying supplies for my kid to take to school, I was surprised to find facial tissue on the list! But I guess

My newest Best Buy Mobile Store purchase: Frends Taylor Over-the-Ear Headphones
I love shopping online. And while I do appreciate the package that comes to my home, sometimes I cannot wait to get my hands on my newest purchase, and that's when the ship-to-store becomes my new BFF.
A few weeks ago I went online and ordered the most gorgeous headphones via Best Buy Mobile. I was on the search for some stylish girly headphones that would be total statement piece when I wore

WordGirl season 6 premiers August 5th!
Friendly reminder to parents that WordGirl premiers with new episodes on August 5th. As my 5 year old gets older, this is one of his favorite shows on PBS. I like it because it uses "bigger" words that my kid is used to hearing by now.

Frugal Friday: Save money by making your own banana bread
Contributing post by Justine Burgess
One of the best ways to save money is to make food at home. Home-baked goods are one of my favorites, and I love to whip up something delicious that makes the house smell wonderful. My favorite thing to bake? Banana bread.
It’s a “quick” bread, meaning it doesn’t require any yeast or rising time, and there’s no messy punching and kneading of the dough- or

D23 Expo: Day 1 recap and photo album
Day one of the D23 Expo in Anaheim, CA was a lot of fun. I went there without a plan. Armed with only my HTC One phone, I decided to take a few laps around the first floor and just enjoy all the Disneyness.
I ran into some interesting characters outfitted in homemade costumes.
Bid on some authentic Haunted Mansion props. Same pictures, different angle.

Total Woman Gym & Spa + Giveaway
I can't remember the last time I stepped inside a gym (other than the ones at hotels). They're overwhelming, filled with fit and muscle-loaded men and women, and frankly, my self-esteem can't take it right now. After two kids with a belly to prove it, I need a place where I can workout and not feel like I'm being judged. A place like Total Woman Gym and Spa.

El Chavo Toys Giveaway / Sorteo | #ElChavoToys
One of my favorite things to do growing up in a bilingual household was sitting down to watch El Chavo del Ocho with my family. El Chavo is a Spanish show where the one of the main characters (by the same name) gets into all kinds of shenanigans. It's hilarious. The jokes are funny, the physical comedy is classic and the feeling of comfort that I get when I watch it is one that I want my sons to

My five year old son will be heading into Kindergarten next week. Whew. I can't believe I just wrote that. To make matters more interesting, he's heading into a dual-immersion school whereby he'll be taught using the 90/10 method - 90% Spanish instruction, 10% English instruction. It's a different road we decided to take for his education, and one that I'll talk more about later. Today, I

Plants vs. Zombies 2 is available now, but how much will it really cost you?
My second favorite game of all time, Plants vs. Zombies has just released a sequel to its original counterpart. It's FREE... so I downloaded it. I fully expected to lost plenty of sleep over Plants vs. Zombies 2 tonight, complete all the levels and unlock all the mini-games. Then hubster started playing it and my all-nighter disappeared. We are so disappointed with the new version! Not sure

Becky G interview and learn how to recreate her look | #EasyBreezySummer #Beasters

She was a complete sweetheart and I love that she represented everything that Latinas should strive for - success, a supportive family and an attitude that will take her places.

Fun Epic activity sheets for kids + Giveaway
The kids and I sat down to watch Epic a few days ago. It was my first time seeing it, but it had definitely been on my radar since reading that Steven Tyler and Pitbull both voiced characters in the movie.
